How-To: Best Residential High Volume Leaf Collection System That Does It All!

[@jomama01]

Like most Trac Vac rigs, this has some interesting”modifications” to it... Notice it looks like it’s been re-engined, but with some type of belt drive in place of flywheel/shredder mounted directly to engine. Intake hose hangers are available if you get tired of tying up your hose. Our Model 580 just completed its 47th season (re-engined once), and outside of some welding to reinforce the turbine housing, has held together remarkably well. Just got new intake hose and added some Fiberglas tape to strengthen the exhaust tube, and did break down and replaced the original Goodyear Marathon II tires due to rot (and that nobody makes a 4.30 replacement anymore).

what is the model number of all the equiptment in the description?

[@ScottKirby-w3l]

You appear to have a TracVac model 1080. Great engine with pulley drive.

mine is cheap AG-FAB LOWES. had to tilt the PLASTIC snozzle to keep sticks from plugging the hose. someone had installed a 90 stove pipe into chopper where it plugs. wondering if the 90 elbow helps to plug it??

Where can I get this from?

[@Remy-dl6nc]

Does it vacuum grass clippings as well?

[@e39M5e46M3]

Yes it does. That’s because vacuum hose is connected directly to the discharge deck.

[@e39M5e46M3]

Correct! Otherwise you’ll be plowing them. 👍
